Intro for “A Foundation on Which to Stand”
The Iowa Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision striking down a ban
against gay marriage in the state. There are now three states which
allow homosexual marriage unions.
The gay marriage issue relates very much to the gender identity topic
I am attempting to pursue in this blog. Last fall, after the passage
of Proposition 8, I actually felt more concerned than victorious. Few
of the other political outcomes of our last election were determined by the
perspective that won on Prop 8. Though I tried to celebrate with others, the picture that came to mind for me was the Japanese victory at Pearl Harbor.
Christians will very shortly face the situation where the Good Book
they read will teach a morality that is, to most, baffling at best and
evil if applied to everyone. What is more troubling is that the great majority of
Christians will not have a clear understanding on why their
religion does teach a message that is good, even wonderful, for
everyone. These posts (The Image of God) are one attempt to give an answer to that.
I wrote a paper after the election regarding the state and need of the
Christian church in the West. Because of its length it can be found
in my blog sidebar, entitled, “A Foundation on Which to Stand”. I
will continue the blog posts on gender and the image of God in the
next few days.
May God grant to the Remnant a heart and mind of grace and truth.
